Smackdown Results from Hershey, PA:

The Rock came out to start off SmackDown and discussed Hershey, PA from when he was younger. He started to cut a promo about John Cena and WrestleMania, but John Laurinaitis interrupts and comes down to the ring. JL says that he was given permission to come out by Teddy Long. He says Cena is the reason he was fired and wants to be in Rock's corner at WrestleMania. Rock says it's up to the people to decide, and they boo JL. Rock says he and Laurinaitis should send Cena a message together, but first they need to shake. Rock then hit a Spinebuster and People's Elbow on Laurinaitis before leaving.
